Nayarambalam got a beautiful heritage homestay located near St. Augustine's Church and Veeranpuzha. The ancient mansion has more than 120 years heritage. I am too happy that these heritage structures are transformed to such luxurious home stays rather than they are being demolished. Many ancient structures were demolished recently in Nayarambalam to build new fashion buildings within a span of 20-25 years. Now people slowly get awareness about the importance of our heritage.

Narikulam Tharavad was the home of former Panchayath President, the Late
Mr. Cheriyan Narikulam. Presently the homestay is managed by his son Mr.
Paul Cherian. He has added some brilliant amenities in its courtyard. An Erumadam (tree-top house) is set up in a huge tamerind tree. A mini Chinese net is set across the small canal inside the courtyard. The net is functional and in the spring tide, you can enjoy fishing with that.

The courtyard

The bedroom and common area like Nadumuttam (Central courtyard in a traditional Kerala Mansion) has been altered to give a new look, but still without loosing the ancient feel. An open bathroom is set to go with the new trend. All the furniture in every room is genuinely ancient.

The tourists visiting Cherai Beach may like Narikulam Tharavad very well. As a result of the beautification of Cherai, the natural beauty of the place has faded considerably. At the same time Cherai beach is really great. Here is the relevance of Narikulam Tharavad - for a good stay to enjoy the real / natural kerala living.

Nayarambalam. Its my land!

Undefinable is my relationship with Nayarambalam village. I love her, I worship. I born to her laps. I was grown in front of her. She witnessed my calm childhood and turbulent youth. I celebrated my life inside of her soul.
